Staff and management have all been very helpful in settling Mum in. It was a very difficult decision to make but we are very pleased with all her care and all staff who see to her.

My mother has always been reluctant to go into a home but having realised she can no longer cope on her own, she appears to be settling well into her new environment. When we took her to view Foxton Court, the staff discussed things with my mother rather than directing information to myself, which is
very important as she is the resident.

My mother has been living at Foxton Court since last July. It took her a little time to settle in and she is now happy there. The staff are cheerful, helpful, friendly and caring, and treat residents with respect and dignity.
Medication is dispensed appropriately and the food seems to be of good quality.
The chef even took the time to see my mother to discuss her dietary needs. Various activities are organised to entertain the residents. Although I live some distance away I am confident that my mother is being well looked after and I would recommend this home to families in a similar situation.

My mother aged 94 who was diagnosed with Dementia with Lewy bodies two years ago has had carers looking after her at home. Doing a good job but after 13 visits to the hospital, it was time to look at care homes, we visited a few and decided on Foxton Court Morpeth. After being at Foxton for six weeks
she said she was very content, she has made a few friends and all the staff were fantastic with her, nothing is a problem. The home has its own hairdressing salon which she attends once a week. It makes her feel good, she also has her nails done which makes her look good. She will go out on trips which gives her a break and a boost, entertainment is on every week for the residents. The accommodation is fantastic, as are all the staff. The meals are five star. Tea, coffee and biscuits never ending. I think she might live till 107 after all the attention and care from all the staff and management. Thank you, Foxton Court.

My wife was admitted to this residential home in May 2010 and has been in residence since. Our two adult daughters and I have been regular visitors through the years. We are well-satisfied with the standard of care, as is my wife.
She was diagnosed as having M.S. in 1981, resulting in loss of ambulant
movement and dementia.
This condition has been coped with, by diligent care and medical attention.

Our Dad has lived at Foxton Court since November 2008 and was, in fact, one of the home's first residents. Over the years the care has been exceptional: the food is good and plentiful; the surroundings are bright and well maintained. There is a good calendar of social events/activities and above all,
the staff are very caring. The knowledge that Dad is content and very well cared for gives me and my brothers great peace of mind

My mother's health deteriorated very quickly. All the staff responded quickly, appropriately and with a lot of kindness and attention, going over and beyond what was expected.
They were prepared to have training to meet my mother's care needs even though it is not a nursing home.
The staff all appeared
very genuinely caring towards my mother and had built up a lovely relationship.

Foxton Court has been home for our mother for the last two years. She has had particular needs due to having a long term illness. The staff have made her feel at home. They have got to know her as a person, not a "case". She has been treated as a great individual with a need for help with being fed.
The home's managers devised a special mould to shape pureed food so it looks like the actual food, amazing. So much more appetising. There are regular activities and outings for all the residents and they have different people on the team that help.

A great place for rest and restoration for my mam. Very caring staff who assist in any way they can to help make the stressful period in my mother's life easier. A personal touch without being overpowering. Always willing to listen and further offer a solution to the smallest of problems. Thank you.

Overall care has been extremely good from not only the carers but cleaners, cooks , hairdresser , entertainment. All the staff employed have long tiring days and sometimes could do with a little extra help or so it appeares to me .

I've been here for respite care for the last ten months, soon to return home. During my stay here, I've been most impressed by the way the home is run and the standard of care given willingly by the lovely staff. I would have no reservations about recommending the home to anyone considering residency.

My father is currently a resident of Foxton Court and has been there for approximately 3 weeks. He originally went there for 2 weeks respite following a fall however he has decided to stay there now for the foreseeable future. From the very first day, the staff at the home have gone out of their way
to make his stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Everyone is very friendly and he has been looked after very well. His room is clean and comfortable and he enjoys the activities and days out when he gets the chance. The food is very good with plenty of choice. The common areas are spacious and bright and again there is choice as to dining rooms and lounges. My father also enjoys sitting in the garden where there is plenty of seating in pleasant surroundings. I would not hesitate to recommend Foxton Court to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.569)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.569) out of 10 for Foxton Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.569 for Foxton Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.569

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxton Court Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
